Re: I love to see the sunrise by amanda_dcosta	15-Dec-05/5:43 PM
In this poem, the theme is simple, and so is the presentation. What i have been trying to keep in mind, though, is the concept of enjambment...... Correct me if i've got it wrong.

Re: i dream in nine minute increments by ay deee	14-Dec-05/11:05 AM
Uh huh..... Wish I never had that kind of a dream. And I have never had that kind either..... none that i can think of, with guns and bullets burning in my arm. Gives me the creeps. Where I come from, we don't see guns around here and people don't sleep with guns for defence either. Nicely written, though.

Beautiful! Anyway, who's the one who is going to die soon, and who is this character going crazy that he is of such inspiration to you. Just curious.

Re: You Have It Backwards by LilMsLadyPoet	14-Dec-05/1:25 AM
well, its been interesting reading about the debate on intelligence and richness. while, zodiacs point on a higher IQ score in america is a possibilty as it has been shown that with higher levels of education there is a rise in IQ. HOWEVER that in no way can be equated to success. Its been shown that people with higher EQs(emotional quotient) do much better than people with higher IQs be it in a financial sense or in a social sense. Again equating the fact that americans have a higher IQ and thats why they are more successful or will be more successful as compared to the rest of the world also does not make sense. Civilizations have risen and fallen. The american led civilization is just another spike in the march of time. COMPARED to the great civilizations that rose from other places, america is only a few hundred years old. Time will flow on and other civilizations will rise and fall. Its funny how IQ shifts with the time. I believe all people are basically equal but wealth does give you a chance to develop your intelligence, however that in no way guarantees you a good future. I believe human desperation and plain old luck plays a great part in human future. Everytime people have been forced to start from scratch and fight their way up, they generally produce tougher civilisations. While richer places have fallen down, with greed and decadence slowly eating out their souls. This has been one of the lessons of time. To push this debate into more irrelevance i believe that america will continue to lead the world for some period in the future but as time goes on and the forces of globilisation will push the world together, a period of increased co-dependence will begin. As man push on to the stars the next great civilsations will begin there for the people who venture forth willl be more desperate and innovate better than the people of earth, IQ not being a factor. Remember necessity is the mother of all inventions, and not IQ.

Excuse me, but is this a poem or an essay. Try putting the same matter in poetic form. It will be more creative while still emphasing your point on the debate.

You're really vulgar. Makes me sick just reviewing your so called poem. You're an insult to the English language.

Re: With All My Heart by Tigger8023	13-Dec-05/8:30 PM
Good going.... I love rhyming verse. Still, in real life are you as dedicated as you pen down. Would really make a difference to your world. Am not good at reviewing. Am new to this field, and don't really know what to look for in a poem or poet's expressions. All the same I liked it.

ALChemy, good reviewing! I have been going through what you've written and it does look good. If only I could write like that! Well, maybe I can if I really sit at it. Its just that i don't sit and write poetry seriously. It comes alongside a host of other things that i take interest in. Thanks for the review..... Am still working on the advice.
Re: a comment on CHRISTMAS EVERYDAY by amanda_dcosta	13-Dec-05/8:01 PM
Ha Dovina... thanks for the encouragement. truth be told, i think i say sorry very easily though it doesn't mean that i mop around feeling bad for myself. i've developed this habit over the past couple of years more after my kids were born....... more like teaching them that there'e a word like sorry. it helps living amicably.......... See you around, and yes, there's a couple of poems to be posted again. Will post them in time.... "I love to see the sunrise".
Re: a comment on CHRISTMAS EVERYDAY by amanda_dcosta	13-Dec-05/10:59 AM
Dovina, am really sorry..... i speak without thinking which always gets me into a lot of mess. Sorry.
